Reverting the vim source command

Question

I know i can load a new or reload a vimrc file with the :source command. But is there a reverse to this? Because every source only adds to vim.

For example. if I would load a vimrc file to map F5 to a certain action. would i be able to unload this binding? And what about custom function

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it would be better on Unix & Linux. — Blrfl, Commented Apr 25, 2016 at 10:40
You could probably save a session, then source your files. To restore previous settings, close vim and restart, loading the session. — VanLaser, Commented Apr 25, 2016 at 18:24

You can have a look at the Tim Pope's plugin scriptease, it has a Disarm command. I think it's the closest I know for your issue.

You can also want to create a custom source function that keep track of everything that has been added from the source command.
